那个中了1670万澳元Powerball大奖的男子说他没有欺骗工友。
14个来自Geelong的Powerball（后文称为Powerball14)联合购买者等来了高等法院对他们有利的判决，法院要求Tatts披露所有相关细节。几个小时后，男子发表了公开声明。
而另有一个男子也出来说他也是联合购买者的一分子。
49岁的Gary Baron 是去年10月16日 5000万Powerball大奖三个得奖者之一。
来自Lara的Baron 为来自Geelong的Toll集团的一组工友买了一张彩票。但是在声明中Baron说得奖的那张彩票是他自己花了46.45元买的另一张。
他说他使用了2014年4月3日以来使用了23次的数字组合。这些数字存在他的Tatts帐户的“最爱”设置里。
他说他的最爱数字从2013年9月就没有变过。
他说他在网上用他的帐户为同事合资购买10张票之前的三天，他已经通过手机够买了他自己的那张得奖彩票。
20个同事每人出资20元，连同前一周赢来的120元，让他代表买了10张彩票。这些彩票共赢了299.40元。
他的律师说Tatts可以提供证据给Powerball14来证明Baron所言不虚。
“我从来没有欺骗工友，并且 很失望这件事吵得沸沸扬扬，”Baron说。
“我也很失望这些同事没有直接联系我，或者告诉我他们要上庭。不然我会向他们好好解释的。”
当Baron辞职并开始大手大脚花钱时，那些一起买票的同事开始怀疑。
Tatts还送了一瓶香槟到Toll给Baron.
另一个自称为John的男子说他也是联合买票者之一。
John不是Powerball 14的一员，他2014年3月离开了Toll,他本周一才知道关于彩票的纷争。“我发现后哦感到恶心，没人告诉我。”
Powerball 14的一员告诉Herald Sun说因为John离开了Toll,他们‘忘记了他“。但是John说，“他们选择忽略我。”
John出示了一张收据，显示他在9月25日转了150元给Baron.
他还披露前Geelong澳式足球队员Sean Simpson也是常一起买票的人之一，而且是他对Baron的大手大脚花钱提出了疑问。Bara在Lara买了一幢原属Simpson的朋友的物业。
John说Baron以前在资金不够时曾自己出钱补足。“对我来说，Gary是最诚实的人之一。”
周四在高等法院，法官命令Tattersalls交出够买了10月份得奖的那张彩票的人的名字，如何支付，得奖金额又是如何，何时支付以及支付给了谁等细节。
在一个书面证词中，Power14的一员Gary Georgeson说他们不知道联合购买的彩票上的数字。
GARY BARON’S FULL STATEMENT
On 12 October 2014, I purchased a Powerball ‘favourites’ game for the Powerball $50m draw which was held on 16 October 2014. The cost of this game was $46.45. I purchased the ticket through my Tatts account and used my smart phone to facilitate the purchase. This favourite game is actually named “My PowerballBall” in the Lottery system and has not changed since 11 September 2013.
MyPowerballball contained numbers which I had saved to my Tatts online account so that I could repeatedly play the same numbers, which I did on 23 occasions since 3 April 2014 always using my own personal funds.
It was from this game that the winning first division numbers were drawn on 16 October 2014.
For several years prior to 16 October 2014, I was tasked with purchasing Powerball tickets for a syndicate at my workplace.
Whenever there was a jackpot, including the week of 16 October 2014, 20 of my colleagues gave me $20 each to put toward Powerball and/or lotto tickets.
Often, I would buy multiple quick picks and multiple games for the syndicate as I understood that these increased our chances of winning. I always reported back and distributed any winnings.
I was well trusted by my colleagues and I am pleased that not all the syndicate have decided to be involved in the unwarranted and unnecessary court action against Tatts.
When I was purchasing tickets for the syndicate, it was agreed between the syndicate, that if any tickets I purchased won small amounts of money, these funds would be added to the following weeks play.
For example, if the syndicate won $100 one week, this $100 would be added to the $400 to be received from the 20 syndicate members to increase our chances of winning.
Each week, I purchased tickets for the syndicate to the precise value (or as close as possible given the varied cost of tickets) of the funds the syndicate had to spend.
I always kept my personal purchases separate from my syndicate purchase, often buying personal tickets and syndicate tickets on different days.
On 15 October 2014, I purchased 10 tickets for the syndicate to the value of $520.35 online.
I made this purchase via my Tatts internet account three days after I purchased by personal ‘favourites’ ticket on 12 October, which I purchased using my smartphone.
The syndicate had $120 in winnings from the previous week and each of the 20 members gave me their $20 again.
Some of these tickets I purchased for the syndicate won small amounts, none of these tickets was the first division prize winner.
All the winnings from these tickets were put back into the syndicate funds for future play.
The following is a brief history of the games I purchased for the syndicate in the weeks preceding the 16 October 2014:
On 25 September 2014, I, on behalf of the syndicate, purchased $399.55 in Powerball games (draw #958) via website for the syndicate. I had a total of $400 invested by the syndicate (20 members x $20). From the games invested on 25 September 2014 on behalf of the syndicate, a total amount of $95.30 was won.
On 1 October 2014, I, on behalf of the syndicate, purchased $492.40 in Powerball games (draw #959) via website on behalf of the syndicate $400 weekly investment (20 member x $20) + $92.40 from the previous weeks winnings (as close to the $95.30 winning figure as possible).
From the games invested on 1 October 2014 on behalf of the syndicate, a total amount of $182.65 was won. On 7 October 2014 AND 9 October 2014, I, on behalf of the syndicate, purchased $580.35 in Oz Lotto (draw #1077 - $60.10) AND Powerball games (draw #960 - $520.25 via website $400 weekly investment (20 members x $20) + $180.35 from the previous weeks winnings (as close to $182.65 as possible). From the games invested on 7 & 8 October 2014, $120.60 was won (Powerball draw #960).
On 15 October 2014, I, on behalf of the syndicate purchased $520.25 in Powerball games (draw #961) via website. $400 weekly investment + $120.35 from the previous weeks winnings (as close to the $120.60 winning figure as possible). $299.40 was won by the syndicate on that occasion.
The syndicate games were completely unrelated to my personal favourites game which was the successful ticket.
The syndicate games were purchased on different day, through a different medium and using the value of funds the syndicate had to purchase tickets with.
All of this information has been verified by Tatts who conducted an investigation prior to releasing the funds to me.
I have never cheated my workmates and I am disappointed that the matter has become so public and that my name, family and home have become so widely publicised. I am also disappointed that the syndicate did not give me any notice of the impending court proceedings or contact me directly or through my lawyer.
In hindsight, I should have explained the circumstances to syndicate members at the time. I just want to get on with my life and enjoy time with my family.
